Hi,
Just wondering if any of you has thought about or is working on a
payment gateway abstraction layer (PEAR-style)?
I'm interested on developing that or at least start a discussion about
it.
The package would provide a framework for all types of online (and
offline?) payment transactions.
- Authorize.net, PayPal, ...,
- eChecks,
- Credit cards,
- Authorize only, charge, refund...
- Through specialized PHP extensions or simple use of CURL...
Basically a drop-in package to make integration of a payment gateway
into a site as easy as PEAR::DB is for databases.
If you know of an other discussion going on currently about the
subject, feel free to post a reference to it here.
